Genetic Diversity of Legume Nodulating Bacteria and the Effect of Nitrogen Sources on the Yield of Common Bean in Western Kenya
(Maseno University, 2016)
Declining soil fertility in general and nitrogen (N) in particular limit crop production on many smallholder farms in western Kenya. Soil N deficiency is usually ameliorated with inorganic N fertilizers but their high costs ...
Identification of Maize (Zea Mays L.) Genotypes Resistant to Striga Hermonthica (Del.) and Determination of Genetic Basis for Resistance
(Maseno University, 2017)
The obligate root hemi-parasite, Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth., native to sub-Saharan Africa causes serious economic constraint to cereal production. There has been limited study to understand the genetics of Striga ...
Variations in Yields and Yield Components With Geographical Location and Response of Clonal Tea (Camellia Sinensis) to Nitrogenous Fertiliser Rates in Kenya
(Maseno University, 2017)
Tea provides income and employment to rural populations in many countries. Tea, grown in east and west of the Rift Valley, is the leading export commodity crop in Kenya. Variable responses among genotypes to different ...
Phenotypic variation in morphology, yield and seed quality in selected accessions of leafy Amaranths
(Maseno University, 2017)
Vegetable amaranths are highly valued for being rich in proteins and micronutrients such as iron, calcium, zinc, vitamin C and vitamin A. In spite of the crop’s exceptional nutritional qualities, very little effort has ...
